Inara ,'Objects In Space'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
Oh, you know it'll come down to Alan Moore vs Frank Miller. I only wish Brian K Vaughn was in another bracket so he could make it to the final 4.
Because I personally believe thatMoore and Miller have really dropped off their quality of late, while everything that BKV writes now is on my hold list, and I always look forward to them.
Bendis, Ellis, Gaiman, and Morrison all have firm shots.
Was Miller even winning his round? IIRC, he was doing worse than I expected.
Hm, I've just assumed that Gaiman would take the whole thing. Particularly when, at some point in the next month, someone posts a link on a Gaiman fansite.
Forgot about Gaiman, he could really screw up the curve.

He was actually losing his opening round race when I checked, though it was pretty early in the running. I do think he's the most deserving of all the writers I'm familiar with on the list, although Moore's not far behind.
Considering how well McFarlane was doing, I doubt the voters are primarily Vertigo-type readers.

He was ahead when I voted, by a fair margin.
Can't remember who he was up against, though.
The cult of Moore is, I believe, larger than the cult of Gaiman, with enough crossover to suck votes away from Gaiman in the event of a Moore v. Gaiman match.
I think Gaiman's the better writer, but I think Moore's the better comic book writer.
Huh. From Newsarama:
"In one of the quickest 'now you see it, now you don’t' yet, followed by a couple 'these aren’t the droids you’re looking for' (ahhh, geeky references), it appears that the writer of Marvel’s upcoming Ultimate Hulk vs. Wolverine will be Lost co-creator and writer, Damon Lindelof. The news, which was originally supposed to be revealed in a mainstream outlet (reportedly USA Today, as early as this Friday) popped up in a quick blurb on wizarduniverse.com, which was taken down shortly after 3:00pm. Threads about Lindelof writing the miniseries which sprung up on Millarworld and the Bendis Board were deleted quickly."
Just go my copy of Serenity #3. Haven't read it yet, though. Hopefully tonight.
Speaking of Moore, and going back a few years, does anyone know the scoop on BIG NUMBERS and why it was aborted. I swear I remember that there was a big falling out between Moore and Sienkewicz (sp?) but I couldn't tell you where I heard/read that. That always looked like it was going to be a very different type of book for both of them, and the first (only?) two (or was it three?) issues I like a lot.
He's at 82% now. I wish they showed # of votes.
I doubt the voters are primarily Vertigo-type readers.Heh, I figured. Considering that, wherever possible, writers were identified by their superhero books. But in any pairing, I bet there will be more people who at least read some of Sandman than read anything by OtherGuy.
Or, fewer people who hate Gaiman and will vote against him than people who hate OtherGuy and will vote against him.
Frank, here's one version: [link]
